Grantham supervisor Professor Lenny Koh co-authors paper on the problem of electronic waste.
Electronic waste is the fastest growing category of hazardous solid waste in the world. And by throwing away our electronics we’re wasting huge amounts of valuable resources.
In a new paper from Lenny Koh, a number of approaches are considered to deal with electronic waste. One much needed aspect is international collaboration and economic incentives that protect labour. Alongside this we need management approaches that minimize adverse impacts on the environment and human health.
